Nice!
Trivia:
In the original text, it says he’s wearing a hat, which is not in the picture. When we remastered it, the text was adjusted.
Hahaha. You are indeed correct!
→ SHOW CARD TO TELLER
The teller takes one look at the card and leaves her position behind the till.
A few moments later a short fat man with a cigar and top hat (he must be a capitalist) comes up to you, introduces himself as Mr Peckham and, taking you by the arm, leads you into his office.

So. Release 0.18 is out.
dMagnetic has been part of the latest OpenBSD 6.6 release, the latest FreeBSD, and now there is a Gentoo ebuild out as well.

I tried to build it manually but encountered some issue - would you be interested in feedback on what I encountered? (Or - are there binaries available to download?)
certainly! what is the issue?
if you were talking about compiling it on a SGI machine: I had a problem there with the missing unistd.h library. So I wrote a small patch and put it onto my website: http://dettus.net/dMagnetic/vm68k_datatypes.h
dMagnetic 0.19 will be supporting IRIX natively 
I’m on Ubuntu - just to confirm, do you recommend the mkpackage.sh script over mkpackage2.sh?
Neither. both are work in progress.
Just download the sources and run
sudo make install
That should do the trick!

Oh - just tried mkpackage.sh and it worked - and the previous time I tried to build the interpreter, something happened but I can’t remember what it is. And it works! And I now see that you have replied about the make command, which I can try as well. But yes, it came up - awesome work, this is really cool!
I think you might love these screenshots from Ubuntu Touch. I just build dMagnetics for arm and it works:

I do! Very much. 
Thank you!
So, do you plan on turning this one into an official package?
I was thinking about it but Ubuntu Touch install packages are clicks (sort of ancestor snaps) that use qml frontend (which will lose the point of your work). There’s a way to install deb packages using a Libertine container but I don’t know how to pack deb
My final thought was to wait and see how your development goes…
so you could create an ubuntu touch package from a .deb? Hmmm… not bad… this might help: https://packages.debian.org/sid/dmagnetic
There are two different things:
- clicks
- debs installed via libertine container
but yes, definitively it helps… testing in 3, 2, …
Yesterday, I finalized release 0.20. It enables users to play JINXTER from old DOS binaries, and even to load ancient save-games!
On top of that, a textual glitch has been fixed, one that was preventing the solution of the sliding puzzle. (My apologies about that.)

Aaaaand… Release 0.21 is out. There was a bug in 0.20. I fixed it, and now it is possible to play “Corruption” and “Fish!” as well. You can even load your old save-games!!

It looks like this could be fun with Sixel graphics.
